Evercreech Church of England Primary School, near Shepton Mallet, had to find another supplier when the existing contract ran out and, among other businesses, approached the Bell Inn.

On the menu yesterday were Mexican favourite chicken fajitas, spiced chicken wraps with peppers and sour cream, served with potato wedges.

Mr Carlton said: “The school approached us and we are pleased to be doing this. “We produced samples of seven-eight dishes, and our home-made fish fingers were favourites.”

His daughter, Ruby five, is a pupil. Her mother said: “She clears her plate at home and she has done here too.”
